no sound input device in system settings list
 

hi,

audacity stopped recording.
When I opened System Settings --> Sound-->Input the list "Choose device for sound input:" is blank. I cannot finish my audacity project.
Help, please.

I am not a system meddling guy. All I remember is I turned audacity on, mic didn't work (though the day before it did) I checked System Settings--> Sound --> Input, no device in the list.

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't read your OP properly and just assumed this was a standard sound output problem :/

I know nothing about sound input so I'll have to leave this one to somebody else.

never mind :hattip:,
just one last question`
what does OP stands for?
